Surely if you win the lottery all you should think about is that you are getting a good seat at a bargain price for a show that is otherwise selling out and is only on for a few weeks. if you want to argue about where you sit go online book a full price seat or refuse your lottery win and give it to me, i'd love to see this show for that price. people want the moon on a stick for nothing. You can see the show for that price. The rear stalls - which as previously mentioned have been allocated to lottery winners - are only £35. Or standing right behind them is £20. That was my only gripe about the Joseph lottery: I really don't like the rear stalls, and if they are allocating those seats, I'd rather not see it. But you can't refuse your lottery win by that point. But yes, it's a lottery. And £30 seats elsewhere in the theatre is a good win. |

My seat allocation is in the stalls, row L, in the first few seats, right at the side.
I presume that far to the side they will be restricted view.

Indeed, as others have said. “Lottery.” The clue is in the name!

Jac’s off tonight so Michael Pickering is debuting as Joseph. Wish I’d seen that! He was the last Rusty in Starlight before the 30th revision and is one of the best I’ve ever seen in that role. Incredible energy and enthusiasm! Wonder who did his track for Those Canaan Days... |

I’ve entered the Hamilton lottery more than 50 times and never won, Tina quite a few times and never won and Joseph a few times and won once. It’s luck of the draw, and no point complaining about it. There’s plenty of other offers available out there to go and enjoy something else. If you’re desperate to see something, then pay for it.

How long do we think it will be before some unofficial audio finds it's way onto YouTube or something. Invariably it will

If the comments about complaining are directed at my post, I should point out that of course I understand that lotteries are games of chance - and like alece10, I've yet to win one. So not winning is fair enuough, albeit obviously disappointing. My points were that leaving entrants potentially waiting for so long to hear the outcome seems unreasonable - I couldn't find any warning about this and wanted to book something else if I wasn't seeing Joseph - as does allowing winners to book up to 4 tickets instead of the usual 1 or 2. I'm entitled to my opinion and to express it, so if the above is considered complaining, so be it - no-one has to agree with me. |

Like you, I was just expressing my opinion too about complaints on where the seats are located. I agree, the length of time to wait is too long in comparison to other shows. I guess I’m used to the daily lotteries on TodayTix, or the 24 hour wait on Hamilton - which one day soon hopefully I’ll finally win 🤞🏼. |

I wonder if the 4 ticket limit is because it's a family musical? I say 2 tickets and leave the kids at home.😁

Jac has been off since Saturday. I’m in again at the end of the week- I do like to see understudies and it’ll be interesting to see a different take on Joseph if he’s still off then.

Since I'm sitting around waiting for a service person to arrive to do some work - I went on the Joseph site just to look at tickets - and for the next week of performances at least - all you see is single seats here and there. I don't think I counted more than 20 available tickets per performance. Have to admit, a show 50 years old that's been revived countless times - selling out a huge theatre like that is damn impressive.

Although these days so many performers seem to only do 5 or 6 shows a week. Not like the old timers like Imelda Staunton and her generation. |

And this is why we cast seasoned, experienced performers in lead roles...
